Ed Action on Waqf Board Request: Taking major action in the money laundering case, the ED has returned an amount of Rs 3.82 crore to the Karnataka State Waqf Board. This money was from the Waqf Board, which was wrongly transferred to other accounts through fraud.
The ED conducted this investigation under the ongoing investigation against Sushila Chintamani and others. The case started with an FIR, which was registered against two officers of Vijaya Bank and Syed Siraj Ahmed, an employee of the Waqf Board.
Transferred money in accounts of fake companies
The Waqf Board had given a fixed deposit of about Rs 4 crore through two checks in Vijaya Bank to open a fixed deposit, but instead of opening FD, these money was transferred to the accounts of fake companies. According to the ED, Mercedes cars were purchased from Rs 1.10 crore out of Rs 4 crore and Rs 2.72 crore was transferred to a fake company Ajay Sharma Trading Corporation.
ED returned money to the real entitled
ED tracked the entire money trail of this scam and attached property worth Rs 3.82 crore. After this, on 31 March 2017, ED also filed a charge sheet against 6 people and companies in the court. Under the PMLA law, the ED emphasized that the money which was incorrectly withdrawn, should be returned to its real entitlement.
When the court asked to return the money to the Waqf Board, the ED did not object to this. Finally, on 1 July 2025, ED returned the money to the Waqf Board, CEO Jilani H. Mokashi of the Karnataka State Waqf Board was handed over a banker check of Rs 3.82 crore.
